With so many people coming in, or coming back, to the forums since the F4 announcement, I figured this would be fun to do again.
After voting, please write a short comment about why that game is your favorite and when you first got into the series.

F2 was the first one I played about a few months after release, a friend told me about F1/F2 and I couldn't find the first one at the time so I just bought F2 to give it a try. Was immediately hooked and quickly searched for the first one before getting too far in the second. F2 was just such an improvement over the first, it was everything perfect in a game at that time. Still to this day F2 is the one I replay the most.
